Wow...I am so sorry for everyone suffering from this horrible situation. I have had this rash since I was 8 weeks along. It started just under my bra line on my chest. My OB said it was nothing and to use cortizone. Well, now I am 21 weeks and it has just gotten progressively worse! Now I have a full-fledged rash on my belly, chest and lower back. It itches so much that I wake up scratching...so much that I bleed. I have been through a round of steroids, lotromin cream, cortizone and Benadryl. I finally went to a dermatologist on Wednesday and they took a sample for biopsy (ouch). They said the results will take 2 weeks!!!!! I am going completely crazy from the itching. I can't even imagine 19 more weeks of this torture. I guess next I will try the Aveeno (Oatmeal??) bath. Good luck to everyone!
